Week of highs and lows

So a little off topic, i passed my Class B CDL road test today. Its great, but i got the results for my hoisting license and i failed the 4a test. I should have just taken the 4e that i need. Means my new job is not going to happen, but this leaves me to scrapping for my income.

Now this is the good, i got another lead on a older guy(hoarder) with a few cars on his property. Came from a middleschool kid who is trying to do some landscraping, and he knows me and that i am into scrapping.
Went to talk to them and it looks like i will be getting a 90's minivan and a RV trailer. Also got a riding mower, but i am going to let the kid have it, and help him fix it as a reward for referencing me. They said that they are happy to be rid of them and are not interested in getting paid.


Today i went and looked at a ford escort that was posted on CL for parts, I got there and it was in way better shape than expected, ended up driving it home for 250. I will put a clutch in it and use it as a beater/gas saver, and also as a way for my brother to learn to drive stick. Then i can scrap it and at least break even, but i see it selling for more.



I am now also shopping for an equipment or car trailer. Also on my mind is a rollback truck, preferably a 80's chevy with 6.2 diesel. Dont want to borrow a trailer every time i need to move a car.

I had an 80's 6.2, wouldn't wish that on anybody.
